Pirates Face Konnor Griffin Decision: Break Camp or Start in Triple-A Runway?

Konnor Griffin, the Pirates’ top prospect who reportedly dazzled in his first pro season, is in a spring training spotlight with a roster spot up for grabs. The team must weigh his inexperience and potential impact against service-time considerations and possible extension talks that could affect his rookie-year eligibility. Pirates have also added veterans to boost offense and bolster their competition for the middle infield. A fan poll reflects split hopes: most expect Griffin to reach Opening Day without an extension, a sizable minority anticipate an extension with a roster spot, and a smaller group foresee him starting the year in the minors.

Marcus Stroman's Contract Situation with Cubs Raises Questions

Marcus Stroman has expressed his desire to stay with the Chicago Cubs on an extension, but the team has not engaged in any talks yet. Stroman can opt out of his deal after this season, and with interest likely to be high, he wants to avoid any confusion in the rumor mill. Cubs President Jed Hoyer declined to comment on the state of talks. While it makes sense for the Cubs to wait until later in July to talk extension, they should at least engage in the talks given Stroman's desire to stay. Stroman's breakout this year is attributed to his trust in his catchers during games.
